NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A shooting victim was hospitalized after being discovered at an East Nashville gas station early Friday morning.
Officers were reportedly called to the Mapco in the 2800 block of Dickerson Pike around 3:30 a.m. on Friday, April 28.
Metro police said they do not believe the victim was shot at the gas station.
An employee at the business was outside on her break when she reportedly heard gunshots. The victim then ran around from the back of the building and told the employee he had been shot in the back, according to police.
The employee called 911 and applied pressure on the wounds until medics arrived, authorities said.
Police said the victim was taken to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he is currently in stable condition after being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers at the scene initially reported the victim was shot multiple times. Several hours later, a department spokesperson told News 2 he only sustained a single gunshot wound to the abdomen.
